This extensive research investigates how motivating factors can shape the learning experiences of students in (MBA) programs. The study uses both qualitative and quantitative data collected through mixed-methods approach to examine how faculty interaction and social engagement influence students’ motivation and their academic self-efficacy. According to the findings of the study, supportive faculty involvement, opportunities for significant peer collaboration as well as relevance of course content to future professional goals significantly enhance students’ confidence in applying theoretical knowledge to practical business challenges. By identifying intrinsic motivational aspects like competence, autonomy, and relatedness that create a stimulating learning environment, this research contributes to educational psychology literature. Insights from these finding have major implications for MBA program curricula development that need motivational strategies incorporated in order to improve student engagement and success. The limitations of this study include its focus on a single university setting which limits generalization across diverse educational contexts through further studies. In brief, this research aims at understanding the dynamic nature of motivation within MBA programs and underscores the criticality of addressing student motivation to optimize learning outcomes.
